Creating a Threshold Value Rule Expression
Threshold value rule expressions are available only for Threshold expression types. The following procedure demonstrates how to create a threshold value rule expression in a simple rule expression.
To create a threshold value rule expression
1. Type a name for the rule expression in the Rule Name field in the Rule Information panel.
2. Click the Down arrow to the right of the Rule Type field and select Threshold.
3. In the Expression list of the Rule Expression panel, click Simple Expression.
4. Choose Threshold Value as the first operand. The second operand must be either Number or Threshold Value
5. Click the box to the right of the Event field to display a pop up containing a list of events. In the Event list, Optimize displays a list of available event maps. This list contains both system-defined and user-defined event maps. Your system administrator sets up user-defined event maps (see “Configuring KPIs” in Administering webMethods Optimize). The following table describes some of the system-defined event maps listed.
Event Map | Description |
AnalyticEngineHealth | Describes the system health of the Analytic Engine. |
Optimize Error | Indicates whenever an Optimize error occurs. |
Performance Metrics | Describes the set of intrinsic values collected for performance data. |
Process Metrics | Describes the set of intrinsic values collected for process data, such as cycle time, or instance or error count. |
Process Performance Metrics | Describes the set of intrinsic values collected for process performance data. |
QueryMetrics | Describes the set of intrinsic values collected for query data. |
QueueMetrics | Describes the set of intrinsic values collected for queue data. |
Step Metrics | Describes the set of intrinsic values collected for step data, such as cycle time, or instance or error count. |
WebServiceMetrics | Describes the set of intrinsic values collected for the Web service DCA. |
6. In the Comparator list, click the logical comparator (such as Equal To) to compare the two operands in the simple rule expression (also known as a Boolean expression).
7. Choose the second operand in the lower Operand field. The second operand must be either Number or Threshold Value.
a. If you choose Threshold Value as the second operand, an Event field is displayed for this operand, and you must choose the event for it as you did for the first operand.
b. If you choose Number as the second operand, you need only supply a value in the Value field for the operand.
8. Click Save to save the rule expression.
